Demonstrators Will Not Transmit COVID

 

 

BANGKOK, July 25 (TNA) – Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul did not oppose students’ demonstrations but advised them to wear face masks and observe social distancing to help control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

 

He said that safety was his main concern about students’ rallies but face masks and social distancing could cope with the disease. He said he would not oppose students’ demonstrations because they wanted to communicate their feelings to the government. 

 

“Rallies should not lead to infection because Thailand has been free of local COVID-19 infection for two months and foreigners from the countries where COVID-19 is spreading are not allowed to visit Thailand. Besides, those who return from other countries must be quarantined for 14 days,” Mr Anutin said.

And since it's all local students and not any 'dirty farangs' that are rallying here, how can there be any risk?

did they all use the thai spy app to register ?

We 0 cases and the absolutely wonderfully working contract tracing, this should not really be anyones worry, right?

RIGHT?!

...says the opposition leader, ready to take over. Politricks ???? ...

I'm surprised he didn't claim the Thai version of COVID only spreads among young university students and they must be quarantined.

Wouldn't it be great. Put a QR code on the Democracy monument and go round them up the next day.

Vietnam recorded it's first local transmission in 100 days...where did that come from?

Are there now as many deputy prime ministers as there are generals?  I get confused when someone says deputy PM and the entire parliament put their hand up ????
